While the earlier promotion for Terminator:Genisys has primarily focused on reintroducing the new versions of
characters you know and love—Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke), John Connor (Jason
Clarke), Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney), the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger)—this latest
short U.K. trailer takes a different approach. They fly the “we’ve got an
Oscar-winner in our movie” flag high, spending a fair amount of the minute-long
run time showing off J.K. Simmons. Which is never a bad move.
He plays the harried detective with no idea what the hell is
going on as various timelines collide and mix and shoot off in new directions.
It certainly appears that he is going to inject some flustered comic relief
into the film that otherwise looks like it takes itself very, very seriously.
And we’ll watch Simmons in anything, so what the hell.
According to the few people who have seen
Genisys already, it’s good, which is nice to hear after it
has been called the final nail in the Terminator coffin.
Thus far, this is the best the movie has looked, so they’re moving in the right
direction at least. Intended as the first in a new trilogy, parts 2 and 3 are
already scheduled to drop in 2017 and 2018. Check out the trailer below.
